Deputation to St Leonards Loanhead and Lasswade 580

Bro Bob Scott master of Lodge Kirknewton and Ratho No.85 headed a large and distinguished deputation to St. Leonards Loanhead and Lasswade No. 580 on 2nd April 2026 and witnessed an excellent first degree. The meeting was almost complete when the host master Bro Mark McCluskey requested a special presentation. Bro Mark R. Nevin PM 85, much to his astonishment, was presented and thereafter when his shock subsided, was made a Honorary Member of 580 by the RWM Bro McCluskey for services rendered to 580 over the years. Bro McCluskey made special emphasis that Bro Nevin, his cousin, is now part of the 580 family too. Bro Nevin suitably responded thanking Bro McCluskey and all the brethren of St. Leonards Loanhead and Lasswade No. 580 for such a great honour and to the deputation from 85 for their support of the keeping of a wee secret.
